All new Flickr accounts must be reviewed by the Ministry of Flckr Truth prior to be available to view.

If Flickr deems your content “unsafe” you are labeled by Flckr as a “loose cannon”.

The default Flickr settings are for “safe search” meaning censored searching.

Artists are required to label their own work as offensive or non-offensive.

After all it's composed of multiple images that are not yours.<br />But this would be a laugh since Flickr has so many more infringing images all over the place that they are not policing.

Then again they don't really need to provide justification. Odd.

I assumed it was used sparingly for offensive images and the user would be notified.<br /><br />I was also reading an article the other that implied Yahoo was using Flickr images without compensating the photographer because that would be 'too much of a hassle'.<br /><br />If this stuff keeps up, I'm outta there.
